rod end bearing

Hey I'm looking at changing my leaf suspension with a four link front and rear. I was wondering what style of rod ends to run. What would be durable but not extremely expensive?

Hey man, very cool. Take pictures and do a write up of you build if you can.

I'm thinking of linking my front in a couple years, I'd be particularly interested in how you clear steering/oil pan etc.

I went Johnny Joints with mine. Absolutely NO restrictions to the flex and seems to ride pretty good/quiet on the street.

Mine is ful custom geometry, I used this kit for parts:
